Problems solved by technology

[0008] The above three patents all improve the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of copper alloys through the addition of rare earth or rare earth oxides, but at the same time, due to the addition of low-conductivity materials such as ceramic particles, molybdenum or chromium, the corrosion resistance of copper alloys is reduced to a certain extent. The electrical and thermal conductivity of contact materials makes it difficult to obtain copper-based contact materials with excellent comprehensive properties

Abstract

The invention relates to a graphene reinforced copper-rare earth based electrical contact material and a preparing method thereof. The electrical contact material comprises, by weight, 0.1-3.0% of graphene and 97.0-99.9% of copper-rare earth alloy, and rare earth accounts for 0.05-3.0% of the total weight of copper-rare earth alloy. The preparing method comprises the steps of powder atomization, ball milling and powder mixing, cold press molding, sintering, secondary forming and sintering. By adding a graphene reinforcing body to copper alloy to serve as the framework, the material has high hardness, high wear resistance, high mechanical impact resistance and high welding resistance. By adding rare earth, the oxidation resistance and electric arc erosion resistance of the copper alloy electrical contact material are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical contact material, in particular to a graphene-reinforced copper-rare earth based electrical contact material, and a preparation method of the above material. Background technique [0002] Electrical contact materials are key components of instruments and meters, and play an important role in the life and reliability of instruments and meters. Copper-based contact materials have partially replaced silver-based contacts in recent years due to their low price, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity similar to silver, which greatly reduces the loss of precious metal silver. However, because the copper contact material is easily oxidized, copper oxide and cuprous oxide with low resistivity are produced, which increases the contact resistance of the contact element and makes it easy to heat up during use, resulting in the reliability of the contact material. and reduced service life. [0003] The existing p...
